JUST EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT THE HELL THE TRAVELER IS BUNGIE[THEORY]

Yeah hey hi it's BraveCole Look. I'm a huge lore enthusiast and It [b][i]urks[/i][/b] me that after the two or three years this game has been out, we still don't know [b][i]exactly[/i][/b] what the -blam!- the traveler is. We [b][i]know[/i][/b] it's something that brought a golden age. We know it's something that has the power to terraform planets, and we know that something has been after it, The Darkness. Which caused the collapse. We call it the Travler. The Fallen called it The Great Machine. It's reconciled as a -blam!-ing God. But [b][i] what exactly is it!?[/i][/b] It's been around for millions of years, spreading life and prosperity wherever the hell it goes. -blam!-ing awesome, right? Totally! But here, have a look at Ghost Fragment: The Traveler. [spoiler]Dreams of Alpha Lupi You have lived as invisibly as possible, flicking from solar system to solar system, making grand plans, overseeing the culturing of civilizations, before leaving in a blink. But you have no recollection of ever wanting worship or even thanks from those blessed by you.  But memory is heavy now.  It feels like lead and neutronium and electroweak matter fashioned into a moon-sized ball that you must carry as you move.  Now, your flight is rapid, your vast mind infected with such dread and toxic doubt that you find yourself afraid of the simple act of thought.  And it is your children you must turn to now, in time of need.[/spoiler] Dreams of Alpha Lupi. Alpha Lupi is also considered to be the Traveler, but in every Alpha Lupi card, it's always in third person. Does the traveler talk in third person? Or could Alpha Lupi be someone else entirely? Take a look at this quote too from the same card: "It feels like lead and neutronium and electroweak matter fashioned into a moon-sized ball that you must carry as you move." "Lead and neutronium and electroweak matter fashioned into a moon-sized ball." Now, what other moon sized ball exists in the Destiny universe besides the Traveler? Noticed that it also says "fashioned into". Meaning that The Traveler that we see over the last city was possibly [i]created. By someone.[/i] And when I say [i]by someone,[/i] the quote follows up by saying "that you must carry as you move." Could this mean that the Traveler itself isn't the God, but someone or [i]something[/i] inside of that metal ball is the [i]true[/i] traveler? Could the thing over the last city simply be a construct, container, or even a ship or vehicle of some sort, housing an unseen entity or deity? Let me know if my crazy, off the wall theory sounds plausible. Edit: After studying the Grimoire some more, Ghost Fragment: Mysteries 2 could also give some insight.

  • I'd like to see progress in its regeneration. We reclaimed the shard of the traveler the hive were using against it. We destroyed the black gardens heart "only then will your traveler begin to heal", and we've had 4 expansions after that with no progress
